But for now, there is still a lot of construction underway on East Front Street, near the mall.

City leaders say the construction is for the Pedestrian Mall’s parking lot.

The mall is still open for public use and has hosted events recently.

City leaders say if you want to use the mall, parking options are available.

“Main street, which is where the theater is, and Front street faces The Depo and Isabella street and Kelly street and that’s a whole block that’s walking distance from the pedestrian mall,” said Main Street Manager Karen Singletary.

Singletary expects construction on the parking lot to be finished in late May or early June.
